Susan Marquis highlights past abuses workers suffered in Florida's tomato fields: toxic pesticide exposure, beatings, sexual assault, rampant wage theft, and even, astonishingly, modern-day slavery. Marquis unveils how, even without new legislation, regulation, or government participation, these farmworkers have dramatically improved their work conditions. Marquis credits this success to the immigrants from Mexico, Haiti, and Guatemala who formed the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, a neuroscience major who takes great pride in the watermelon crew he runs, a leading farmer/ grower who was once homeless, and a retired New York State judge who volunteered to stuff envelopes and ended up building a ground-breaking institution. Through the "Fair Food Program" that they have developed, fought for, and implemented, these people have changed the lives of more than thirty thousand field workers. I Am Not a Tractor! offers a range of solutions to a problem that is rooted in our nation's slave history and that is worsened by ongoing conflict over immigration"--|cPublisher's Web site. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on December 01, 2017). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 20 Coalition of Immokalee Workers.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2009036287 610 27 Coalition of Immokalee Workers.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1779037 650 0 Agricultural laborers|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85002338|zFlorida|zImmokalee.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81107013-781 650 0 Agricultural laborers|xLabor unions|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85136523|zFlorida|zImmokalee. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81107013-781 650 0 Food industry and trade|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85050282|zFlorida|zImmokalee|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81107013-781|xEmployees. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00002753 650 7 Agricultural laborers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /800949 650 7 Agricultural laborers|xLabor unions.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/800972 650 7 Food industry and trade.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/930843 650 7 Employees.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/909111 651 7 Florida|zImmokalee.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1215405 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMarquis, Susan L.
